Currently, at home, I'm experiencing a big system barf. If I try to run 
GLXgears, the screen blacks out and after a few moments, it returns me to a 
log-in screen. Can't give any time to this this am because I have to go to an 
appointment. The figures I cited were from my work machine which is a 2.66 
GHz P4, if I'm not mistaken - I'll double-check that when I get in. This 
machine is a dual-core 2.66 MHz w/ 2 GB ram.
